Summer Movies in New York Swerve Into Horror
Fresh Scares When it comes to the horror movie of the summer, my vote is for 'Weapons,' Zach Cregger's loony supernatural opus about the mysterious disappearance of 17 children from a single classroom. But on those days when a walk to the movie theater doesn't appeal, I suggest parking yourself on the couch for a double feature of small but mighty new indies: the vampire cautionary tale 'Bleeding' (on demand) and the psychological thriller 'Sharp Corner' (streaming on Hulu), starring a terrific Ben Foster as a paranoid dad. Consider me excited for Scary Movies, the Film at Lincoln Center salute to genre cinema that's back after a five-year hiatus (Aug. 15-21). Among the new releases and rediscoveries, I'm especially stoked for the opening night pick 'It Ends,' a low-fi, sci-fi Gen Z thriller; 'Good Boy,' a paranormal drama told from a dog's point of view; and the closing night film, 'The Dark and the Wicked,' an under-the-radar possession drama from 2020 starring a mesmerizing Marin Ireland. A Classic Revisited Aug. 18 is Texas Chain Saw Day, when multiplexes across the country will show 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' Tobe Hooper's game-changing shocker, the way it should be seen: in a room full of screaming strangers. (The film takes place on Aug. 18, 1973.) Screenings will be preceded by an excerpt from 'Chain Reactions,' a new documentary about the film's cultural impact. Enduring Terror Summer is a great time to check off classic movies that have languished on your to-see list. The IFC Center's Hong Kong Cinema Classics series (Aug. 15-28) includes 11 films presented in new 4K restorations with new translations. My pick is 'The Killer,' John Woo's 1989 brain-blowing action movie starring Chow Yun-fat as a hired assassin. (Woo's 2024 remake is streaming on Peacock.) At the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, the director Ari Aster ('Midsommar') helped program a series about 'communities ready to spill over into bloodlust or vengeance,' as the museum describes it, inspired by his latest movie, 'Eddington.' Aster will be at the museum to introduce 'Nashville' (Aug. 17) and 'JFK' (Aug. 23). Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Dua Lipa looks sensational in sheer black mesh dress at New York gala
Dua Lipa looked stunning as she attended the 50th Chaplin Award Gala in New York on Monday night. The singer, 29, turned heads in a sheer black mesh dress which featured cutout sections as she posed for photographers. She teamed the look with strappy shiny black heels and accessorized with a huge gold necklace and matching statement earrings. Dua styled her dark hair in loose waves over her shoulders and opted for a bronzed make-up look. The Chaplin Award Gala is organization Film At Lincoln Center's primary annual fundraising event. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit's programs, including film series, educational initiatives, and marquee events like the New York Film Festival and New Directors/New Films.
